I don’t even know whether I should mention this, but I haven’t watched the movie because I don’t watch that many films. But I was told about the scene and I saw it on YouTube. Salman and Shah Rukh are sitting at the end of the film and discussing who is going to… It was tongue-in-cheek. It was about the film, but it was also about outside the film. Usme masti, mazaak tha (It was said in fun)… and people laughed as well.”Aamir thinks Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal are capable of taking over from themAamir added that Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Vicky Kaushal "can give us a run for our money." “Without taking names, a lot of people guessed what they were trying to say. But today, those same young actors have shown us that not only are they there, they can give us a run for our money — Chhaava Vicky Kaushal, Animal Ranbir Kapoor, Dhurandhar Ranveer. They’re there. They’re very capable of taking over from us. I would say they are very talented actors, perhaps more talented than us. They are staking a claim for a rightful place. So they have answered without saying anything , they’ve answered with their work. Which is fantastic. I really appreciate that. It’s wonderful to see that."About the sceneIn the said action scene in Pathaan, Shah Rukh and Salman Khan fight villains.
